Sachio Fujioka was born in Tokyo in 1962 and from the age of 16 studied conducting with both Kenichiro Kobayshi and Akeo Watanabe. In 1990 he moved to the UK taking up post-graduate studies at the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester, where he was the first holder of the Sir Charles Groves Conducting Fellowship. Since 2001 he has held the position of Chief Conductor of the Kansai Philharmonic Orchestra in Osaka.
Following his very successful debut with the Japan Philharmonic Orchestra at Suntory Hall, Tokyo in May 1995, he was appointed a regular guest conductor and now returns to work with the orchestra on a number of occasions each season. He also works regularly with many other Japanese orchestras including the Yomiuri Nippon Symphony, Tokyo Metropolitan Symphony, Sapporo Symphony and Hiroshima Symphony Orchestras.
Following highly successful productions with the Opera de Oviedo (Spain) of Britten’s Turn of the Screw in the 2006/07 season, (a production that won a Teatro Campoamor Opera Award for Best Production) and Ariadne auf Naxos in 2009/10, Maestro Fujioka has been reinvited to conduct Madama Butterfly in 2014.
Sachio Fujioka has made a number of recordings of music by the distinguished Japanese composer Takashi Yoshimatsu with the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra for Chandos Records.
